Technology Update

For those pilots who fly a lot and often fly for a long time, the noise comes from the wind must be very irritating and it can hurt the ears for sure. The usual headsets often fail to protect the ears from the sound of the lulling winds and end up burdening the ears, head and the neck as they put too much weight. Skygeek presents the TELEX 850 headset that provides both protection and comfort for your ears, head and neck all at once. This headset weighs only 4 ounces and that is a big relieve for your head and neck because it is very slim and light that you would almost forget that you are wearing it. Other great thing about the TELEX Airman 850 is that it is battery free. It is intended for aircrafts like Boeing and Airbus that do not need specialized adapters.

The good quality headset still need a good aviation GPS. Skygeek also presents Garmin 696. Unlike the smaller units, Garmin 696 provides wide view with its wide display screen. It enables the pilots to view a large range of features that surely give more information for the safety of the flying procedures. The Garmin 696 also features what they call the “click stick.” It is an integrated rotary joystick that is really easy to use.
